La Crosse Community Theatre has been a La Crosse tradition since 1963. We now produce nine shows during our September through June season, including dramas, comedies, musicals, and children’s performances. La Crosse Community Theatre is a member of the American Association of Community Theatre and the Wisconsin Association of Community Theatre.

Our professional staff includes an executive director, technical director, and administrative personnel. These individuals support the dedicated volunteers who are involved in all aspects of creating and running a theatre.
